Hi systeam, I know this ain't going to get a high priority flag any time soon but, well, I thought I'd log it anyway... I was curious to know why I was getting a 406 Not Acceptable response when I tried to check the links on http://i-sieve.com/ After digging around I narrowed it down to the UA string used by the link checker: W3C-checklink/4.5 [4.160] libwww-perl/5.823 If I do a GET on http://i-sieve.com with this UA string I get the 406. Delete the 'libwww-perl/5.823' from the end and I get a 200 OK. Since I don't control the i-sieve.com server I can't change this behaviour and so I wonder whether the checker could be amended very slightly to either a) remove the libwww reference in the UA string b) offer an option to run the checker with a different UA string Cheers Phil. -- Phil Archer W3C Mobile Web Initiative http://www.w3.org/Mobile http://philarcher.org
